VOLCANOESBy Taylor and Hannah
Cinder Cone Volcanoes Cinder Cone Volcanoes are built when
lava flows out cooling on the volcano enlarging it each time.
Composite Volcanoes They are typically steep-sided, cones
built from alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs. They are the type of volcano people think of.
Shield Volcanoes They are built almost entirely of lava that
flows and cools on top of other layers. It creates a sloping cone like a warriors shield.
Lava Plateaus A lava plateau is when lava from
volcanoes slide down onto the earth off of the volcanoes making a piece of land covered by lava.
Batholiths A batholiths is a large mountain that was
created when a large glop of lava cooled on the side of a mountain.
Caldera A caldera is usually confused with a
crater. It happens when the top of a volcanoes explodes off and leaves a crater that can fill with rain water and create a lake.
Super Volcanoes These are the most deadly volcanoes if
all. They can create continental damage.
